The March of the Prospects continued this week, and the last big-name free agent signed, but there's still no sign of Gregory Polanco (most likely, we'll see him next week). Carlos Gonzalez and Gerrit Cole were the most notable players to hit the DL, joining Mitch Moreland, Jedd Gyorko and Josh Reddick. Recommended bid values assume a $100 free agent acquisition budget (FAAB).

BEST BETS

Kendrys Morales, 1B, Twins (Mixed: $20, AL: $50) –Scott Boras' gambit of rejecting the Mariners' qualifying offer backfired, but Morales still winds up in the middle of an improving lineup. He won't hit as many homers as he would have, say, in Texas, but that will just mean fewer chances to injure himself celebrating. Expect 337 AB, .276 AVG, 14 HR, 47 RBI, 0 SB, and 39 R.

Jon Singleton, 1B, Astros (Mixed: $8, AL: $25) – He'll be more valuable in leagues that use on-base percentage rather than batting average, but he's still a nice consolation prize for those who miss out on Morales. Even if he struggles initially, the Astros won't send him back to the minors (see Springer, George). Expect 269 AB, .238 AVG, 10 HR, 39 RBI, 3 SB, and 42 R.

Tanner Roark, SP, Nationals (Mixed: $3, NL: N/A) – Injuries created an opening for him, and he's taken full advantage of it. He pitched well last season in his initial taste of the big leagues, so this year's early-season success isn't totally out of the blue. His high ground ball percentage is the key to his success. Expect 98 IP, 6 W, 4.04 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 79 K.

REPLACEMENTS

Lucas Duda, 1B/OF, Mets (Mixed: $2, NL: N/A) – He won't make you forget CarGo, but there's a good chance his output the rest of the season will match what Moreland would have produced. Like Singleton, his high walk rate makes him a more appealing option in leagues that use OBP. Expect 296 AB, .247 AVG, 13 HR, 43 RBI, 1 SB, and 38 R.

Denard Span, OF, Nationals (Mixed: $2, NL: N/A) – He homers only slightly more frequently than former Twins teammate Ben Revere, but he doesn't strike out much, he'll finish with 20+ steals, and he hits at the top of a strong lineup that will only improve whenever Bryce Harper eventually returns from his thumb injury. Expect 361 AB, .277 AVG, 2 HR, 24 RBI, 12 SB, and 50 R.

Kevin Gausman, SP, Orioles (Mixed: $2, AL: $6) – The Orioles will need him to step up in order to remain in the playoff chase, but both his past stints in the majors and his minor league performance suggest that may not happen. Take a flier on him if you must, but be prepared to cut bait quickly and move on. Expect 63 IP, 4 W, 5.29 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 61 K.

WORTH WATCHING

Jake McGee, RP, Rays – Closer Grant Balfour has been struggling, so McGee could get a few stray save opportunities in the near future. He offers ERA and WHIP help to go along with a high K/9 rate, so if your closer's struggling, view McGee as a viable alternative. Expect 40 IP, 2 W, 4 SV, 2.70 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 47 K.

Eddie Butler, SP, Rockies – He beat fellow Colorado pitching prospect Jonathan Gray to the majors, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's ready to succeed at the big league level. He may be a front-of-the-rotation star someday, but that's not likely to happen this season, so don't get your hopes up. Expect 80 IP, 5 W, 4.95 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 65 K.

Cam Bedrosian, RP, Angels – He made the jump from Class AA to the Angels bullpen, so expect some bumps in the road. He's touted as a future closer, but with both Ernesto Frieri and Joe Smith ahead of him, and with the Angels likely to remain in playoff contention, he's not likely to get that opportunity this season. Expect 31 IP, 1 W, 0 SV, 4.65 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 34 K.
